Police

So here we are on Monday morning and yet another Sherwood Police car is wrecked. Thank god the officer was not hurt. Another one of our fine examples of driving here in Oregon ran a red light and plowed into one of our officers. Now I know why the city decided to buy "USED" Police cars instead of new ones. Wow we save some money!!!! But the wrong way as far as I am concerned. Police need new, good working, Long Lasting cars and motorcycles rather than shopping the bargain bin. I have seen the motorcycle officer ride on tires he would ticket folks for having. Our fleet is old and tired. We can hire a Superintendent of Schools for 139K plus benefits but we can't even afford good tires or new Police cars. In fact the only thing new for Our Men and Women in blue is a golf cart we paid 16K for and in used by the code enforcer about 25% of the time and stays parked the rest for the time. Yay more responsible spending by our elite city council and Manager. I am so tired of looking at my water bill, seeing all those idiotic fees and wonder, Do we need a cultural Arts Center? Or maybe some new equipment for our Police. Something to ponder while you drink your coffee in the morning. Well enough for today but stay tuned for the next installment "Sherwood Broadband" Was it really needed or did the owner need 1.5 mil a year out of our pockets. Ta Ta
